Answer 1

To add 6 1/3 and 2 2/9, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator for 3 and 9 is 9.

Then, we can rewrite the mixed numbers as improper fractions:

6 1/3 = 19/3
2 2/9 = 20/9

Now, we can add the fractions:

19/3 + 20/9 = (19*3)/(3*3) + 20/9 = 57/9 + 20/9 = 77/9

Finally, we can convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:

77/9 = 8 5/9

Therefore, the value of the expression 6 1/3 + 2 2/9 is 8 5/9.

The correct option is C.
